Serena Rees

News - Elle Magazine Feb 2006



Another reason to buy Elle magazine this month is for the feature on Serena Rees. I have picked out the fun Serena's Lingerie Rules

- 'Never put your underwear in the washing machine - hand wash everything!'
- 'Get properly measured by a bra speciakist - bras ar the foundation for your whole outfit.'
- 'Look after your underwear as you would your clothes. So don't throw them haphazardly in a drawer - fold them carefully.'

Serena Talks Sex
- 'Wearing great underwear beneath your old jeans and a T-shirt can feel quite naughty. No one knows what you've got on, unless you choose to show it!'
- 'I don't think men find underwear as sexy as the fact a woman has made the effort to wear it. They love the idea that a lady has gone through the preparation of grooming herself.'
- 'I love it when you can see a bit of lingerie underneath your clothes. A friend of mine got married and her dress was a bit see-through, and she had one of our turquoise tulle bras on underneath. I thought, "wow" - she looked amazing!'

Serena Rees a woman of our own hearts! We salute you!

David Beckham's £1,000 monthly underwear bill

News - Teen Today, Uk

David Beckham spends a staggering £1,000 a month - on pants. The soccer ace allegedly splashes out hundreds of pounds on underwear every fortnight because he never wears the same pair twice.

The Real Madrid star - who is married to former Spice Girl Victoria Beckham - reportedly picks up piles of designer Calvin Klein pants at Spain' s swanky El Cortes Ingles department store. A source at the shop said: "He buys 30 pairs every time and spends between £545 to £615. David never purchases anything other than Calvin Klein from the Pro Stretch range. He doesn't stick around very long and normally looks quite sheepish."

David is known for his extravagant tastes. At Christmas he presented Victoria with a stunning £1.2million ruby and diamond necklace.

Bra company thrives with help of eBay

News - Fortwayne,USA

Howell received a cheery holiday greeting from eBay as part of a breakfast-in-bed appreciation program for 100 top sellers across the country. He was served a continental breakfast on a tray and received an eBay apron, slippers and a copy of the Free Press.

With the breakfast, eBay hopes to call attention to the people who are trying to make it through the holidays often single-handedly running their small businesses.
About 724,000 Americans make all or most of their living selling goods on eBay, according to market research firm A.C. Nielsen. The top-selling categories include cars, clothing, accessories, consumer electronics, computers, books, movies, music, home and garden, sports and collectibles.

"Even my sister says, `He knows more than any man should' about bras," Howell said. His online auction business was an outgrowth of stores he once ran.

But now, Howell, who specializes in the hard-to-find larger bra sizes, sells in 20 different countries.

Jordan underwear jewellery

Unfortunately it looks like chav jewellery but the idea behind the knickers, corset and bra jewellery is one worth doing well. In this case it’s the cheap Silver Plated Studs version which has hit the Argos shelves however if someone wanted to produce a stylist alternative then we would be happy to see them arrive. We live in hope..

Tyra Banks Takes Final Spin on Runway

NEW YORK - The runway is now behind Tyra Banks. Her final cruise down the catwalk was the Victoria's Secret show, which is being broadcast Tuesday on CBS at 10 p.m. EST.

She "retired" wearing a red lace bra and underwear with a belt made of military-style medallions, kicking up her high heels with Gisele Bundchen, Heidi Klum and Naomi Campbell at her side.

With two TV shows — her daily talk show and "America's Next Top Model" — Banks hadn't been doing much modeling anyway, and she wanted to go out on top.

She still looks good, mind you, as she prepares to turn 32 on Sunday. You could even say she looks great. She spoke to The Associated Press just before the Victoria's Secret show, wearing a red satin robe, sneakers and her signature long lashes.
